Hi everyone , this blog is just a bit of fun and brief history of things i like and hobby i love , and if i catch something its a bonus! I enjoy the outdoors and nature that our beautiful wee country has to offer. I live on the east coast of Co.Antrim and spend most of my time near the sea. I enjoy fishing , sea kayaking,and sailing my little sailboat when i get the chance ! I am just enjoying myself and learning every day about different ways to catch what our coast line hides! Most importantly a massive thank you to all my friends who have helped me over the last few years ! Stay safe everyone. Tight lines !

A Tribute to the fallen and lost sailers.

Far in the background is Skernohan point which claimed the lives of 9 poor souls during a storm. I thought I should remember them so they are never forgotten RIP. 

Brief history of her below. 
 Ship type Coaster - name of vessel- Peridot 

(GPS 54 51.608N 05 45.691W)

Description: The 200 ton coaster Peridot was en route from Scotland to Camlough on 25th November 1905 with a cargo of coal. An easterly gale forced the small coaster to run for the safety of Larne Lough. She foundered on Skernaghan Point at Browns Bay and her entire crew of nine were lost. The vessel had broken in two and was just visible above the waves. The bow section lies approximately 20m to the southwest of the point while the stern section lies to the east of the rock. She is badly broken up with the boiler just below the surface. The bell was recovered by divers in 1995.
